The engineer that I used to be bros with that shared my apathetic and lazy work style has since quit

I now have an engineering manager and there is a new engineer and I work closely with both of them.

They are both of the mindset of "fuck yeah I fucking love work it is the best thing ever I don't mind putting in 90-110 hour work weeks"

I feel like I'm going to get fired because my ass leaves at 5 to 5:00 and I don't share their enthusiasm for fucking pipe filters and different grades of steel.

Do you mean that you shared your apathetic and lazy lifestyle with him, or that he shared it with other people?

We shared it between ourselves and kept it on the down low. We got our work done but never went above and beyond, we had a mutual agreement to only work at like 60%.

There was one day when our boss was out that we played cookie clicker all day. That sort of shit.

Hopefully your work speaks for itself and you're tolerable to be around. Otherwise, the writing is on the wall.

Well I got a raise last year of 16% of my salary, but since the manager was employed I was verbally reprimanded for slacking off.

But I hadn't changed my productivity between those two points, my manager is just a gungho workaholic, like he hates that I don't have a cheery demeanor on Monday mornings

I'm sure the new engineer will slow down and slack once the "new job" feeling wears off.

Dude, you have a solid skillset and a good chunk of experience behind you and your workplace is toxic af, as we've discussed. You can do better.

But you probably won't move because you're saving money at your parents' and you want to retire at 35 or some shit.

Bad time to leave and look for something else, might as well wait for the new year when companies have new budgets to work with

You don't just leave, you start applying for stuff and bounce once you get a good offer.

I've tried hunting before, there are only so many days you can take off for interviews before it looks suspicious, gotta cool off for now
